Not quite right? Take the next small step
The first answer is a starting point. Explain what works and what needs changing, and the conversation can move closer to your goal.
Identify one specific problem in an answer and improve it with a focused follow-up.
01Before you begin
Take an existing answer and choose one thing to improve: length, tone, structure, or a missing example.
02Try it together
Keep the parts you like and say exactly what should change. Specific feedback is easier to act on than “this isn’t good”.
Keep the three main points from your previous answer. Make the tone more natural, reduce jargon, and add an everyday example. Keep the whole answer under 200 words.
Make this example fit your own task. Start simple, then adjust.
Keep
Preserve the parts that already help.
Adjust
Say exactly what needs to change.
Compare
Judge the result against clear criteria.
03How do you know it worked?
Compare both versions. Are the parts you wanted to keep still there? Has the main problem improved? Did the revision introduce a new problem?
04Now it’s your turn.
Use “Keep …, but change …” to write a follow-up for one of your own tasks.
When you’re done, take a moment to check:
